So ive been out of the loop for awhile since i havent had a nice comp.. well i broke down and bought a nice one and i need to network so other ppl in the house can have cable too..

My question is my comp has xp and theres has win98.. and they have a lan card all i need to get a router and cable and thats all i need right? or do they have to have the same operating system?

Well sharing an internet connection can be fairly easy. I've had win2k, winXP, mac os X and two different linux distro's on a network before. They could all share files except the linux boxes, but only because I did not try to. I never looked into sharing files on those computers.
